For the past couple years I have been a heavy user of acid and shrooms, but unfortunately hadn't had frequent access to either for about a year. Acid in particular is my drug of choice, and at this point I was quite pissed that my entire year had been pretty devoid of tripping, save for the occasional shroom trip.

I remember seeing a comment that said something like "I'm mad I don't have an acid dealer", and the only reply to that said "just do DXM lol". Curious, I researched it at work. I ended up spending my whole shift researching it, and learned that it was quite literally just the chemical they use in over the counter cough syrup. In addition, I learned that it was apparently quite powerful, and relatively safe as long as you buy the right kind. Fortunately, I worked in a grocery store and had very easy access to it. So I bought a single bottle of off brand Robitussin that only had DXM as the active ingredient, and went home to trip.

12:10 - I took the syrup quite late despite having work the next afternoon at 2. I remember the math being annoying to figure out, but I ended up taking about 300 mg, leaving about a fifth of the bottle left. It is worth noting I drank it on a full stomach.

12:42 - I was feeling a bit nauseous, but nothing too bad. Compared to the nausea I had experienced on shrooms, this was a breeze to deal with. Aside from that, this felt like an acid come up: slow but creeping. I was feeling myself progressively get less and less sober, but in ways I can't describe. Everything just started feeling off.

12:55 - I took a massive shit which helped with a lot of the nausea, which at this point felt like just a slight tummy ache. I was definitely high now, feeling similar to being very crossfaded. I was dizzy, and a little loopy.

1:08 - My notes just say that I began feeling more and more disassociated, and that I felt drunk without the sedation that comes with it. That in particular felt quite nice because being drunk is very fun, but it makes me very tired.

1:30 - Still nauseous, but it hasn't gotten better or worse. Thoughts were hard to put together, but I wasn't seeing anything yet.

1:57 - At this point I was undoubtedly tripping. Walking around began to get pretty difficult, since I was becoming more and more dizzy, and my motor function began to decline. My notes say that my vision was laggy, and that when I would look at something, I wouldn't actually see it until moments later. I also decided to hit my dab pen.

2:05 - I hit my pen, and immediately felt way better. The trip felt a lot more familiar and more comforting. It also almost completely killed my nausea.

2:14 - I had to go to the bathroom again and remember walking into my hallway and seeing it get longer and longer in front of me. This kinda blew my mind, because I was used to acid and shroom visuals, not the dreamy visuals of DXM. It was extremely difficult to walk down the hall to the bathroom.

3:13 - So, in my notes I described the current effects to a weakish acid trip, and said that it felt like a psychedelic with training wheels. In retrospective, I retract this statement. It's worth noting I took the rest of the bottle at this time, totaling about another 50 mg.

5:17 - Everything looked out of focus and time was very dilated now. My vision was doubled, and my depth perception decreased. So at the 5 hour point my mental state had degraded too much to take notes, and I'd say I was tripping the hardest at that point. This whole time I was listening to music, and it sounded fantastic. The music in particular felt like it controlled my trip entirely, and what I was hallucinating and how I was feeling was influenced almost completely by what song I was listening to.

My hallucinations equated mostly to vivid imaginings. I felt like I was dreaming while I was awake, being able to almost see what I was thinking. The darkness of the back of my eyelids was transforming into massive geometric structures, and I felt like I was becoming my bed.. then my room.. then everything. My body melted into the fabric of reality and I lost all semblance of reality and began almost freefalling through a void filled with abstract light and colors.

My memory of the end of the trip is hazy, because I entered an almost trancelike state where I stopped thinking altogether. All I remember is that whatever was happening to me was extremely pleasant. The only way I was able to describe my trip was "pleasantly surprised". I honestly didn't expect much. Surprise ego death aside, it was absolutely amazing. Drink a lot of water, and have a good playlist ready.

Happy tripping :)
